Summary is written in the language of this form (EN).
The version number of the form has been updated from 2026/3 to 2026/4, indicating a revision in the form.
The text "asylum permit" has been modified to "asylum residence permit" in the section describing the purposes of residence for which the form can be used, suggesting a clarification or update in terminology.
A hyphen has been added to the phrase "long-term mobility" in the context of family members of European Blue Card holders, changing it to "long-term mobility" to "long -term mobility", which is a minor formatting adjustment rather than a significant policy change.

The file size has increased slightly (+0%) from 2,307,847 to 2,308,966 bytes, but this change is negligible and likely due to the minor revisions made in the form.

De versienummer van het formulier is gewijzigd van een niet-gespecificeerde versie naar 2026/2, en de formaatcode is gewijzigd in 7525.
Inhoudelijk zijn er kleine tekstwijzigingen aangebracht, waaronder het vervangen van "" door "" (geen zichtbare verandering), het gebruiken van "✓" in plaats van "" voor keuzevakjes, en het aanpassen van de tekst rondom het scannen van pasfoto's en het nemen van vingerafdrukken bij de Nederlandse ambassade of het consulaat.
De informatie over de verwerking van persoonsgegevens is gewijzigd: in plaats van een uitgebreide beschrijving van de rechten en plichten, wordt nu verwezen naar de website van de IND (ind.nl/en/privacy) voor meer informatie over hoe de IND omgaat met persoonsgegevens.
Er zijn geen significante beleids- of vereiste-wijzigingen geïdentificeerd in de tekst, maar er zijn wel wat aanpassingen gedaan in de opmaak en de formulering van sommige zinnen.
